Vadodara: Raopura police on Tuesday booked an undertrial for attempting to assault a jail official in Vadodara central jail. Accused Abhijeet Jha threw a stone at subedar Harshad Parmar when the latter was on a routine round in barrack 3 on Monday.
In his complaint, Parmar said that some jail inmates were standing in a queue in barrack 3 as they were not in quarantine. Suddenly Jha abused Parmar and also threw a stone at him but missed. Jha then tried to attack Parmar but was stopped by the jail staff.
The accused alleged that he wasn’t allowed to talk with his family members but the jail staff said the undertrial had made a phone call to his brother just four days ago.
